Rise Of The Worm Sovereign

Chapter 559 - Mass Changes In The Millennium Forest

While Lin Wu was doing something he had never done with the help of the system, other things were happening over the millennium forest.

In the territory of the two Ape kings, the pair of father and son were sitting in the cave.

The Demon Spine Ape king was lying on a stone bed on which several pelts of different beasts were layered to make it softer and more comfortable. The Slim Arm Ape King was sitting on the side while griding some herbs in what looked like a mortar.

~clack~clack~clack~

With each hit of the pestle, the herbs were getting more and more ground.

~Sigh~

The Slim Arm Ape King suddenly sighed and spoke. "You should have stopped when he gave you the option to do so. Now, look what situation you are in." 

"I know, father. But I also needed to see it with my own two eyes if he was worthy of following." The Demon Spine ape king replied.

"What worthy? He's already many times stronger than you, me, and every beast in this forest combined! Even the Twin Lights liger King shouldn't be much in front of him." The Slim Arm Ape King said, his volume a little loud.

The Demon Spine ape seemed like he wanted to say something, but gave up after a few seconds of thinking.

"Just how did he get that strong? Was there really something that precious in the meteor that fell?" The Demon Spine ape king questioned.

"None of the beasts know what was it that the Olive Viper King and Lin Wu obtained. All those that went close to it died, only those two were able to obtain it. Which means it was something attenuated to them, or they were just lucky and in the right place.

But even then, the difference in superiority is obvious. The Olive Viper King became a nascent soul realm beast before King Lin Wu and yet he was the one to die in the end." The Slim Arm Ape King answered.

"That's it? All of it falls to luck?" The Demon Spine ape king asked, feeling a bit frustrated.

"That's just how things are in the world. Fate is a mysterious mistress and plays games that are beyond the imagination of humans, beasts, and even immortals." The Slim Arm Ape king explained.

Hearing all this, the Demon Spine ape king seemed tired and laid back down on the bed. The Slim Arm Ape King knew his son was a bit lost and had his self esteem fall, but knew there was little to do here.

"Come on now, drink this. The faster you heal, the faster you will be able to get stronger." The Slim Arm Ape King ordered.

"Alright." The Demon Spine Ape king said and drank the herb juice that the Slim Arm ape had made by grinding all the herbs.

Once the Demon Spine Ape King finished drinking it all, he closed his eyes and circulated his spirit Qi to help heal his injuries. The Slim Arm Ape King kept an eye on his son for a bit but then noticed that he seemed to be in some discomfort all of a sudden.

"Are you okay? What's the problem?" The Slim Arm Ape King asked.

The Demon Spine Ape king opened his eyes, that were glowing red. 

~shua~

Suddenly flames started burning on him and pressure exuded from his body.

~thud~

The Slim Arm Ape King was forcefully pushed back and dug his long arms into the ground to stop himself.

"WHAT!?" he questioned in confusion.

He wondered if the herbs had caused something, but was sure that there were no such herbs in the concoction. 

~humm~

It was only after he felt the bloodline aura did he get a hint of what was happening.

"The bloodline resonance? Why is it happening now? There is no new ruler…" The Slim Arm Ape King said.

A few seconds later, a similar pressure exuded from his body, and his eyes started to glow as well. Unlike the demon spine ape king though, they were glowing in a Grey light. 

Similar events were happening all over the millennium forest and all the beasts that were at the Nascent soul realm experienced this. 

In the territory of the Split Thorn Horn beetle king, the king's body was emanating a crushing aura that scared all of its followers and subordinates around him. Somewhere in the south of the nest, a scorpion beast was also undergoing the same process.

Inside the Taiji Celestial's tomb, the Emeraldine monkey suddenly teleported and appeared in an empty and rugged hall.

"Ugh! Can't damage the furniture…" he said as he slammed his hands down on the ground, cracking it.

~Shua~shua~shua~

More teleportation formations activated and the mole beast, along with Lin Wu's other servants that were in the tomb, appeared.

"You all felt it too?" The Emeraldine Monkey questioned.

"Of course. The aura is of master, I feared it is another change and came to the furthest hall from the main tomb." The Mole beast said, as it gritted its teeth and dug its claws into the ground.

All of the beasts looked like they were in some kind of pain, but they were forcefully trying to bear it.

"What do you think is happening?" The Swan beast questioned.

"Whatever it is… it's not restricted to us. I can feel ancestor going through something similar." The Beetle beast answered.

"Him too?" The Sparrow beast narrowed his eyes.

"You don't think… this is happening to all beasts?" The mole beast asked.

~shua~

Just as he asked this, another teleportation formation appeared, and another beast appeared. This was none other than the Emeraldine Sky Light Monk Ape and he looked OT be in a better condition than them.

His hands were hidden in his sleeves, but the slight trembling could still be observed.

"No, it's not all beasts. From what I checked, it is the beasts in the Nascent Soul realm!" The 'Monk'ey beast stated.. "It's not just us servants, every Nascent soul realm beast in the forest is going through the same thing."
